Nope - you can try minix.  I have a missive about this somewhere.
Essentially the only "good" thing I every found about minix was "animals"
- a game where the computer tries to guess what animal you're thinking of
by asking you things like "is it a cat?"
You say:  No.
Computer says : describe it
You say: exit
Computer says : is it an exit?
.

(you can see where this is going...)

When you wake up in the morning
With the blues in your fingertips
Get out that ol' guitar and play
It's the only way to scratch that itch
